Back to the Republic of China as a commander

On March 3, Gong Peng personally went to the garrison of the Fifth Division of the Hunan Army, and specially hosted twelve officers of the Fifth Division, saying that he had something to ask for.What these twelve officers have in common is that they personally participated in the killing of Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin.

In the eyes of these officers, Gong Peng and Gong Mazi are the leaders of a small local ruffian in their jurisdiction, and asking them to dinner is nothing more than asking for help.Anyway, staying in the barracks is boring, and it’s been almost half a year since the incident of killing the governor, and they haven’t seen what happened to them. The initial anxiety and worry have long been forgotten by them, so they naturally agreed and promised Come to appointments on time.As for the date, it will be in the private room on the second floor of Tiantai Tea House.

It is undoubtedly a very special task to go to the friendly army's defense area to arrest friendly army officers. The high risk and difficulty determine that the personnel responsible for the arrest must not only be reliable, but also capable.Wang Zhenyu thought over and over again, and decided to let Ma Xicheng and Zhao Dongsheng take more than 30 people from his own guards to carry out the execution, asking them to act quickly and ruthlessly, and evacuate immediately after they succeeded.

After dispatching the guards, Wang Zhenyu immediately summoned Yang Wangui, Song Xianfu, Xu Yuanquan, Hao Bing, Wan Yaohuang and others to the brigade headquarters for a meeting. For such a big event, it is impossible not to say hello.After all, no one knows how the fifth teacher Mei Xin will react, if she really wants to tear herself apart, she has to make preparations for the fight.

"Brigade Commander, you have to be careful. Such a big move involves so many aspects, and the consequences will definitely be serious." The deputy brigade commander Yang Wangui, who is usually obedient and obedient, was the first to raise objections today.

Chief of Staff Xu Yuanquan also frowned: "Brigade Commander, there are five divisions in Changsha. If we suddenly attack the officers under Mei Xin, what should we do if there is a strong backlash? And should we fight against the Fifth Division alone or as a whole?" Together with the fourth division?"

Xu Yuanquan didn't object. Based on what he knew about Wang Zhenyu, he probably guessed that objecting would be useless. The people in charge of the arrest must have been dispatched.Today's meeting is just to say hello, if I have this thought, I might as well ask clearly, so that I can figure out if there are any loopholes and fix them as soon as possible.

Song Xianfu and Hao Bing didn't quite know what the situation was, but after half a year, they were used to resolutely carrying out the orders of the brigade commander, and the brigade commander gave him a harsh reprimand the night before, so they didn't dare to swear.

Wan Yaohuang asked Wang Zhenyu what was the purpose of such an action?

Wang Zhenyu looked at the nervousness of these officers, thought for a while, and decided to tell the truth.He told everyone in the audience the current plight of the clan uncle and the news he had learned from Zhao Hengti, and everyone was immediately surprised.

"Brigade Commander, do you mean that the Fourth Division has already listened to Granny Tan except us, and Master Wang has already become an elite?" Yang Wangui asked in surprise.

Xu Yuanquan was even more astonished, "No, Brigadier, you are a revolutionary hero, and they are planning on you!? What the hell are they trying to do?"

After everyone heard the truth, they were even more confused. You said what you said. . .

Wang Zhenyu raised his hand, and the brigade immediately fell silent. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Wang Zhenyu quietly.Consciously or unconsciously, Wang Zhenyu is now regarded by everyone as the core of the Tigers.

"I know that there are many things that you can't figure out or understand. In fact, this is normal. Take the killing of Dudu Jiao and Dudu Chen as an example. I haven't figured it out until now. But none of these are important. That's it." Wang Zhenyu's voice suddenly rose, "The important thing right now is that if we don't make some moves, don't teach some people well, and don't let them know our strength, then our Tiger Brigade will become history. And I, and Everyone sitting here, your future will come to an end.”

Wang Zhenyu stood up and walked around the table.

"From Hankou, to Nanjing, and then to Changsha, the brothers and I walked all the way. I, Mr. Wang, am very grateful. I would like to say thank you to everyone here. The brothers who are afraid of leaving next, Mr. Wang will not blame You will not stop me, and I will give you a pen toll. But Wang is determined to bring down the banner of the Tiger Brigade, and I will not allow any outsiders to ride on our brothers' necks. shit shit."

Wang Zhenyu put both hands on the shoulders of Xu Yuanquan who was about to speak: "The Tiger Brigade is a collective, not my Wang's. Now we have a strong army, but we don't have a solid backing. It's not uncommon for others to make up their minds. But is it people? Why don’t we give up our hands if we are targeted? Brothers, as long as the gun is in our hands, we can’t be soft-headed.”

"Not only do we want to make trouble, but we also want to make it big. We need to let those who are in high positions and feel good about themselves know that our Tiger Brigade is not easy to mess with," Wang Zhenyu said succinctly, directly setting the tone for the next action.Clearly tell everyone here that there is no need to discuss whether to make troubles or not, and just talk about how to make troubles.

Xu Yuanquan, Yang Wangui and the others looked at each other, and then they turned their attention to Wang Zhenyu who had just sat down, and said in unison after getting up: "I am willing to follow the brigade commander, go through fire or water, and die."

Wang Zhenyu chuckled, and immediately gained confidence.

The next thing will be easy to handle. After the unity of thought, everyone starts to plan how to deal with the Fifth Division.Poor Mei Xin really can't imagine that a small brigade just planned to destroy one of her divisions in such a grand manner.

Everyone was a professional soldier, so they quickly came up with a feasible plan. The first step was for Wan Yaohuang to lead a reconnaissance company in disguise to conduct reconnaissance on the locations, numbers, and combat effectiveness of each unit of the Fifth Division.

At noon that day, Wan Yaohuang and others disguised themselves as foreign merchants and carried out reconnaissance in the area under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Division in the east of the city.With the cooperation of He Jian, Gong Peng and others, he basically knew the fifth division's defense situation clearly.

Mei Xin's Fifth Division was compiled and trained on the basis of the former Hunan New Army's No. 52 Division. Because Changsha was completely controlled by this division at the beginning, no matter whether it was soldiers or equipment supplies, this division was once the most important division in the Hunan Army. OK

The troops also quickly expanded from more than 2000 to 9000, and they also went to Baoqing Mansion to suppress the resistance of Jiao and Chen Yu's loyalists.

But the good times are always short-lived. When Wang Longzhong drove back with seven thousand tiger and wolf divisions to aid the Hubei and Hunan Army, Mei Xin, who was frightened by the prestige of the department in Wuhan, chose to leave Changsha to hide in a foolish way. Xiangtan.

This allowed Tan Yankai to successfully turn himself over by playing salted fish, from a puppet governor to a real power governor in Hunan.

When Mei Xin returned to Changsha with her troops, Lin Xiumei's troops from the Hengyang area also marched into Changsha. Together with the first division trained by Tan Yankai, Wei Tuo and Cheng Qian, and the second division reorganized by the Hubei and Hunan Army, Changsha came from The dominance of his Mei Xin's family has turned into a situation where five divisions coexist.

As a result, Mei Xin's life became more difficult. The first thing to bear was the delay in the payment of military salaries, which greatly reduced the morale of the troops. In order to maintain the army, Mei Xin had to separate the four regiments under her command to deploy defenses within the east of the city. Raising military pay, in this way, the discipline of the army has become a joke, and the people in the defense area are very dissatisfied with this.

The second is the severe political isolation. As a result of the coexistence of the five divisions, Tan Yankai is no longer at his mercy.This is still a trivial matter. After all, I still have an army in my hands, and Granny Tan dare not do anything to her.But the hostility of the other three divisions towards her was troublesome, and that was what really gave Mei Xin a headache.Fortunately, Gan Xindian said that this person is a grassroots type, and Wang Longzhong is Chen Zuoxin's old subordinate, that's all, after all, most of the strength in the hands of the commander of the Fourth Division was bought by Tan Yankai, so there is nothing to toss about.But Lin Xiumei was enough to scare him. When Hunan was liberated, Lin Xiumei was in Jiao, and Chen worked in the staff department.When Mei Xin mutinied, Lin Xiumei fled back to her hometown in Anfu County (now Linli) overnight, and then relied on the power of her family to gather Jiao and some old troops in the Hengyang area and pull up a team.For the sake of stabilizing the overall situation, Tan Yankai transferred the division to Changsha through Cheng Qian, and appointed Lin Xiumei as the commander of the Second Division of the Hunan Army.

Mei Xin now regrets her behavior at the beginning. If she didn't kill Jiao, the two of them, she just didn't want to be promoted. After killing someone, she will be in a very embarrassing and dangerous situation. If she is not careful, she may die without a place to die .One word, difficult!

On the night of March 3, Tiantai Teahouse in the east area of ​​Changsha.Gong Peng hosted a banquet here for twelve officers from the Fifth Division of the Hunan Army. Everyone drank and drank, ate and drank, and talked about women.In short, it was very pleasant, and soon these officers became brothers with He Jian, Gong Peng, Ma Xicheng and others, wine and meat brothers.

After drinking for three rounds, the officers, as usual, began to brag about the feats they had done to show their bravery.He Jian, who was pretending to be Gong Peng's friend, Ma Xicheng listened while eating, and after roughly confirming that it was correct, Ma Xicheng got up and left the table as an excuse to go to the toilet.

As soon as he got out of the private room, Ma Xicheng took out the cigarette issued by the officer, lit one, and took a puff. Thinking of how heroes Jiao and Chen were, they were killed by these bastards who were inferior to pigs and dogs. What kind of reason is this?Ma Xicheng couldn't help being a little angry, and ended up choking himself. He coughed a few times, and then nodded to Zhao Dongsheng on the first floor.

Zhao Dongsheng immediately took the man upstairs with a sniper, kicked the door and rushed into the private room. . .

On the first day of April in the first year of the Republic of China, Western April Fool's Day, the headquarters of the Fifth Division of the Hunan Army.

"Teacher, something is wrong!" Mei Xin's chief of staff came to see Mei Xin early the next morning.

Mei Xin was a little sleepy: "What's wrong?"

The chief of staff said, "I went down to check this morning and found twelve officers missing."

Mei Xin said, "I guess I went somewhere to drink flower wine, it's not a big deal."

The chief of staff said, "Coincidentally, these twelve are the ones who got rid of Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin at the beginning!"

Mei Xin immediately became vigilant when he heard this. His life experience told him that all coincidences are unlucky, and there must be something wrong with them.

At this time, the adjutant ran in: "It's not good, sir, something is not right."

"Why are you panicking so early in the morning?" Mei Xin was furious.

The adjutant hurriedly shut his mouth, endured it and said: "The officers of our division were dragged to the North Gate Tiefo Temple and shot."

On the morning of April 4, through torture, Wang Zhenyu obtained the confession he wanted.Afterwards, Wang Zhenyu ordered the twelve captured criminals to be escorted to Tiefo Temple in Beimen for execution by shooting. The place of execution was right in front of the tailor shop where Chen Zuoxin was killed.

Immediately, the whole of Changsha was shocked. The poor tailor shop really couldn't continue to do business. Everyone said that the murderous atmosphere here is too heavy, and the ghosts linger.
